====== No Blue Dot ======

How did I get a blue dot?  Did I do something wrong?

No, its okay, it can be fixed.

==== Step One: Create a New Page  ====

Perhaps you have already created a new page. [[opencpn:edit_user_manual:create_new_page|Creating a New Page from the URL line]] by browsing to the **"parent" namespace**, for example:

**URL:** %%https://[opencpn.org]=opencpn:opencpnopencpn_user_manual:toolbar_buttons:plugins:utility_plugins%%
\\
\\
Add to the end of the URL a short new page name, using **":"** for the delimiter, all lowercase, with **"_"** for spaces. For example: 

**URL:**  ~ opencpn:opencpnopencpn_user_manual:toolbar_buttons:plugins:utility_plugins**:launcher**
\\
\\
Make the Content page\\
  - Hit **Enter**. The browser does not find the page "launcher" and sends a message. **'Page Does not exist'**.\\
  - Find **'Create this page'** in the right toolbar at the top.\\
  - Once the new page comes up, enter  %%====== Launcher ======%% as the  **Title**\\
  - Enter your content into the page.\\
  - The "Title" will be used for the Left Indexmenu, so please make it short, to correspond to your page name. 
  - Navigation context is used to help with comprehension. 
  - Then **Save** the page.
You now have made the page and the **page icon** shows where a **blue dot** (namespace) is needed.\\

====Step Two: Fix the Blue Dot ====

We have to add a "blank" page to [[opencpn:edit_user_manual:fix_sorting|Fix the way Indexmenu sorts]]. 
  - Indexmenu sorts Namespaces first and then single Pages second.
  - Therefore we have to add a blank page under the **Launcher** page to make Indexmenu sort properly.  
  - Browse to the **Launcher** page.

**URL:**  ~ opencpn:opencpnopencpn_user_manual:toolbar_buttons:plugins:utility_plugins**:launcher**
\\
\\
Add **:blank** to the end of the URL. 

**URL:**  ~ opencpn:opencpnopencpn_user_manual:toolbar_buttons:plugins:utility_plugins:launcher**:blank**

Make the blank page under the Content page.\\
  - Hit **Enter**. \\
  - The browser does not find this page "blank" and sends a message. **'Page Does not exist'**.\\
  - Then **'Create this page'** (right toolbar at the top).\\
  - In the Edit area type "**This page intentionally left blank.**"\\
  - Then **Save** the page.\\
The **"Page Icon** will change to show a Namespace "Blue Dot" as the Indexmenu Navigation Plugin sorts the directories.\\
